Steve Jobs Dies 6 October 2011
Former chief executive and co-founder of US technology giant Apple, Steve Jobs, has died, aged 56, after suffering from pancreatic cancer.A statement released by Apple said: ''Steve's brilliance, passion and energy were the source of countless innovations that enrich and improve all of our lives. The world is immeasurably better because of Steve." He was one of the world's best-known business leaders and introduced the iPod and the iPhone to the world.Adopted as an infant, Jobs was into electronics by the time he was 10. As a teenager, he got himself hired at Hewlett-Packard, a Silicon Valley computer giant. He dropped out of college and landed a job at Atari, a maker of video games. Called to pursue a spiritual quest, he left the corporate scene and traveled to India. Upon his return to the US, he went back to Atari but not for long. In 1976, Jobs and his pal Steve Wozniak made a circuit board in their garage that they called The Apple. At Steve’s urging, Woz designed a computer that was small enough and useful enough for businesses and consumers alike. Woz, the engineering genius, and Jobs, the charismatic visionary, successfully parlayed their perfect combination of skills and talents into a business.
By the time he was 24, Job's Apple Corporation was worth $10 million. A year later, its value had grown to $100 million. Its graphical user interface, business applications and word processing won kudos, and millions cheered while Apple took on IBM and its personal computer. As the Apple empire grew, Steve became a tyrant, subject to moody outbursts and gloomy silences. Hard feelings arose and power struggles with other executives ensued. Jobs resigned on September 17, 1985. The following year, 1986, he co-founded NeXt in an attempt to do for the hardware industry what he had done for software. With ever-broadening vision, he also bought a company which he renamed Pixar Animation Studios. Jobs’ successes have provided endless fascination for students of business and product innovation. On June 20, 1999, a made-for-TV movie related the story of Jobs, Woz and Bill Gates, "The Pirates of Silicon Valley." On a personal note, Jobs has four children: a daughter from his ‘70s romance with his girlfriend and three children with his wife Laurene whom he married in 1991. The Apple Computer Company founder underwent surgery to remove a cancerous pancreatic tumor on July 31, 2004. The tumor reportedly was self-contained and no further treatment was deemed necessary. In early January 2009, looking quite thin, announced that doctors have found the reason for his loss of weight: a hormonal imbalance causing an inability to digest protein. On January 14, 2009 he announced he was taking a leave of absence to take care of his health problems, which, he said, were more complex than previously thought. Toward the end of June, it was announced that he had undergone a liver transplant in Tennessee two months earlier. Although he returned to work, he looked quite thin. On January 17, 2011 he announced an indefinite leave of absence so that he can "focus on my health." He added that he would continue to be CEO and be involved in strategic decisions of the company. He returned to his post but on August 24, 2011 he announced that he was resigning from the CEO's position, effective immediately.. He died on Oct. 5th 2011 in Palo Alto, CA.
Steve Jobs was born 24 February 1955, 19.15 PST. San Francisco, California.There are some very challenging aspects in this chart and some helpful ones too. First of all, there is a grand cross configuration consisting of Jupiter conjunct Uranus opposite Venus , which squares Neptune and Mars. This can be interpreted as the inventor whose hobbies are infused with a relentless, passionate energy that is channelled into achieving his vision of the future. The ability to make this vision real through hard work and determination can be attributed to Pluto trine Mars but square Saturn, sextile Neptune and on the Mercury/Sun midpoint. Pluto squares Saturn, which squares Mercury (the ruler of the ascendant) and this aspect can indicate obsessive thoughts and is a possible inclination to depression and dark moods.The fact that he made a lot of money from the realisation of his vision within a partnership can be seen by the position of Venus in Capricorn, ruling the 2nd house and Mars in Aries in the 8th house ruling the 8th. But with Neptune in the 2nd house I can't help but think that his spiritual values will have been in conflict with his financial gains and created problems within his relationships (Neptune ruling the 7th house).
